Hello! Can anyone identify this tree/shrub? Tea olive perhaps?    |

| Hope someone will know better than I do but I think it might be a:Prunus caroliniana (Carolina Cherry Laurel). I'm basing that on the flowers. Do they have a bit of a sweet smell? |

| They don't seem to have a smell to me...or not yet, anyway. Thanks for the reply! |

| I don't think I noticed before that you thought it might be a Tea Olive. There is a description followed by a number of pictures of tea olives in our Plants Database. See if this link will take you there. Tea Olive (Osmanthus fragrans) Your first picture looks like something else but I can't quite place it. |

| Could it be India Hawthorne? |

| Hello, It looks like Sweet Viburnum and it's not definitely tea olive. Tea olive leaves are matte and also called sweet olive is best fragrant shrub I have ever seen. It produces fragrant flowers twice a year however flowers are so tiny and not very noticeable but apricot fragrance will blow your mind. I have 7 of them all over in my yard. I also have the Viburnum Chindo and gets very large but is not very fragrant only plus side is very shiny leaves. Thanks , Ridvan |
